Upcoming Pulse Energy Highlanders centre, Patelesio Tomkinson is urging fans not to miss out on the entertaining rugby that they are bringing to Fiji this weekend.

Tomkinson believes that having Fiji born wing, Waisake Naholo in their backline is always a joy to watch especially when they always think of running the ball from their own 22 metre line.

The 22-year-old who was part of the New Zealand Under 20 winning team at the Junior World Championship in the UK in 2016 says he is excited to see the reaction of the fans when they watch Naholo run out at the ANZ Stadium on Saturday night.

This is one of the two matches that will be critical for the Highlanders' playoff chances.

The side plays the Crusaders next week and the Rebels the week after and it will not be a walk in the park, as the Rebels may have plenty to play for.

The Highlanders sit fifth on the table at the moment and though it is not realistic that the side can still finish top of the table, it will still want to finish in the top four and claim a home playoff game.

Meanwhile the Chiefs have played the Crusaders in Suva in the past couple of years for a win and a loss.

They will travel to Suva tomorrow but will be without key lock Brodie Retallick, who is recovering from a injury. Hooker Nathan Harris will not play as well because he has the week off after the birth of his first child.

The Pulse Energy Highlanders will host the Gallagher Chiefs at 7.35pm this Saturday at the ANZ Stadium.

Meanwhile the game tickets can be purchased at the Fiji Sports Council office or any Post Fiji outlet around the country.
